Champion of The Grand Finals 2016: Natus Vincere!
As it turns out, the first match of The Grand Finals 2016 on April 8 would be mirrored in the final match one day later: Na’Vi took down Hellraisers 7-6 at the end of an incredible series!
To say that the final battle was close is an understatement. The tie-breaker was insane. It ended in the most dramatic manner:
After an all-out skirmish, three players were left on the map. Applewow and Grifon for Hellraisers; Inspirer for Na’vi. In this two-on-one situation, it really looked like Hellraisers would be able to seal the deal. That is, until the unexpected happened: Applewow, who had the bulk of the available HP of the trio, got stuck on a cliff coming down from an elevated position, leaving his grievously damaged team mate to face their remaining enemy alone! When Inspirer finally took down Grifon after a tense session of hide-and-seek, there was nothing Applewow could do except wait, while Inspirer rolled away with a smile on his face! A breathtaking finish.
Watch it here:
With this result, Na’Vi takes home the trophy and the hefty sum of 150,000 USD. The rest of the prize pool is divided as follows:
75,000 USD to Hellraisers for second place.
35,000 USD to Wombats on Tanks for third place.
20,000 USD to Not So Serious.
5,000 USD to Tornado.Rox, YaTo Gaming, SIMP and Kazna Kru.
The Wargaming.net League extends its most heartfelt congratulations to the winners, and to all the participants!
